Very funny this morning. Someone asked Howard if he liked to watch the
Tour de France. he said he didn't like "Anything-de-France"...Mostly
they all spent a few minutes showing how they have absolutely no
understanding of how a stage race works. Robin was the biggest idiot,
talking about how she watched Lance ride across the line, not win the
race, but yet "win the race".

what do you expect from talk show hosts ? intelligent dialogue and insight ?
they are fools who prosper by taking cheap shots at the rest of mankind that
struggles towards achievement.

listening to NPR the other day:

Mara Liason, who orates at a high level regarding world economic issues was
baffled by the TdF and how complex the 'winning' is. Frankie Andreu
explained it to her but she still did NOT understand.
I guess I'll get my world news somewhere else if she can't understand
accumulative time.

I doubt Mara Liasson, as smart and genus as she is, really knows that
much about baseball or american football rules either.
She's an excellent political junkie and would be silly to expect her to
know anything about pro road racing.

Dear [email hidden]

Stern is a moron. For God's sake, save yourself and stop listening to
his pompous drivel.

Thanks,

Ed

He's funny. And the hosts of NPR are "not funny".

I just thought it amusing that Stern gave air time to a discussion of
the TDF, but I expected nothing different than what he delivered, and
even that was funny.

To give him some credit, he also made some good observations about the
riders being crazy for still being willing to compete even though they
do not adequately keep the fans away from the peloton.

From your report, it seems to me that Stern didn't see any of the race.

Otherwise, he would have noted the podium ceremonies: In which US sport
do winners get to kiss models as part of the official ceremony? If I
know my TdF numbers, there are more hostesses than racers. So, if he
had known anything about this, he would have been sure to ramble on
about "improving" the race by having some girl on girl action on the
podium, in which they switch each others jerseys, etc.

Dumbass -

Stern's spew is worthless, but he's actually gotta be pretty smart to
do what he's done. He understands the adolescent part of the male mind
and is oh-so-quick to link into the Beavis and Butthead of it.

I've only heard him a few times and was impressed with how fast he was.

thanks,

K. Gringioni.

I thank the lord or whoever is responsible that Sicko Howard is not
interested or involved in the Tour de France or any other cycling thing.

He is scum

No ... really it's quite simple:

The Rules of Cricket

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he
comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.

When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats
been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out,
and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes
in.

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they
decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides
have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those
who are not out, that is the end of the game!

I had a couple of glasses or wine before I read this and then I tried to
read it to my wife and I'm still laughing. What's scary is it might make
sense. I'll re-read it tomorrow.
Thanks,
